Tom Uttech was facing a transmission line across the 52 acres of Wisconsin land that have inspired his paintings for decades.
He didn’t wait for the bulldozers. Uttech and the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty challenged whether eminent domain could be used to take his property for a transmission project built to serve a privately owned data center.
Now ATC has refiled its proposed routes, and Uttech’s property is no longer among them.
His land was never taken. His fight shows other landowners why challenging these projects EARLY can matter.

Wisconsin artist Tom Uttech was facing a transmission line through his 52-acre property to help serve a massive privately owned data center.
Instead of accepting it, Uttech fought back, challenging whether private land could be taken for a project benefiting a private company.
The case never reached court. The transmission company refiled its route, and Uttech’s property was no longer on it.
No land was taken. And now his fight could serve as a playbook for other landowners.

Warriors! @alex_fasulo and @SecRollins 👊
Upstaters owe a lot to @SecRollins who has done more to try and liberate our communities from ORES than our own paid-off governor has.
The Flat Creek Solar permit relinquishment is proof that these foreign corporations and Albany bureaucrats CAN be beat.
Keep the pressure on!

Well done @SecRollins!
A massive 300-MW solar project that threatened productive farmland in Montgomery County, New York, has been stopped.
@GovKathyHochul’s administration approved Flat Creek Solar DESPITE fierce opposition from farmers and a historic Amish farming community. But local residents fought back and WON — and now the developer has surrendered its permit.
America should never be forced to sacrifice its most productive farmland to satisfy a radical energy agenda.
@USDA will continue standing with American farmers, protecting the land that feeds our nation, and ensuring rural communities have a voice when their future is on the line.
Governor Hochul should listen to New York’s farmers, not steamroll them.

Tyler and Wendy Chambers bought 66 acres in Washington to build a home, a barn and a small orchard.
Nearly FIVE YEARS and $300,000 in studies, engineering, permits and legal expenses later, they still haven’t been allowed to build. Now, Tyler says the county has sought a permanent deed restriction covering 44 acres, nearly two-thirds of their property.
“If you think you own land, then check out what the bureaucracy has done on my property.”

A well known principle of law is that the dead hand cannot control the land. The @RepHageman bill brings conservation easements into alignment with this principle. Living landowners should decide what to do with the land. If we had had perpetual easements 100 years ago we would still be using horse and plow on properties with perpetual easements.
A Wyoming federal lands group is bashing a bill U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman has unveiled that would cap government conservation easements at 30 years. Hageman says it will balance landowners’ rights, while opponents claim it will harm conservation efforts.

Texas families have seen average electricity rates rise roughly 40% since 2020.
Meanwhile, ERCOT’s board just approved a 30% pay increase for its selected members, bringing average annual compensation to about $219,000.
The same meeting included approval of a CEO contract that could have provided up to $6.4 MILLION in potential earned compensation next year before ERCOT backed away from executing it.
At a time when Texans are already paying more for electricity, these decisions are drawing serious scrutiny over how ERCOT is spending ratepayer-funded dollars.

Thank you @SecRollins!
⚖️ LAWFARE UPDATE ⚖️
American dairy farmers pay mandatory checkoff assessments to build demand for milk, cheese, and butter — NOT to bankroll radical climate (ESG) agendas.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is the framework the Left has used to push emissions mandates and costly sustainability requirements on American agriculture.
In plain English: Washington bureaucrats should not be using farmers’ own dollars to regulate cow burps, make it harder to raise cattle, or push fake meat onto American dinner tables.
The war on cattle is OVER.
Today, I directed @USDA to end Dairy Checkoff funding for ESG overregulation and ensure all Checkoff research and promotion programs stay focused on their core mission: expanding markets and supporting the hardworking men and women who feed this country.
Producer dollars should serve producers. Period.

It is unprecedented to see “unelected” administrators defy the will of our “elected” Representatives in such a blatant manner. Thank you @BradBuckleyDVM and @DanPatrick for calling this out!
When honest, hard-working Texans are spending their own resources to fight the massive land grab by the @PUCTX and @ercot_iso, voting to increase your own salary is the most embarrassing, shameful, and out of touch decision. I echo the Lt. Gov’s call to reverse this decision. #txlege

Two federal cases are challenging the National Park Service’s power to make violations of agency rules federal crimes.
One involves BASE jumpers who could face arrest, a $5,000 fine and imprisonment. The other involves an Oregon outdoorsman facing three federal charges after fishing and driving on a restricted road in Yellowstone.
At the center of both cases is a constitutional question: Can Congress hand an administrative agency the power to decide what conduct is criminal?

Solar companies exposed! Landowners need to be aware of how these deals play out. Great work @alex_fasulo.
If you are thinking about leasing your farmland to commercial solar, I want you to read this today.
What just came out at Flat Creek Solar through a lawsuit that the landowner filed against the solar company is massive.
With every solar company that shops a project, they will either file bankruptcy, be acquired, or sell the permit many times over before there's a shovel in the ground.
At Flat Creek Solar, the original solar company, SunEast, was later acquired by Cordelio Power come 2025. By April 1, 2026, Cordelio Power was acquired by Pattern Energy Group (a Canadian pension fund).
Cordelio Power "assured" those who had leased to Flat Creek Solar that this wouldn't impact any rent payments.
The landowner (plaintiff) calculated they were owed $2,179,200 by April 15, 2026 per the lease agreement.
Pattern Energy Group did not pay them that, resulting in a lawsuit filed August 18, 2026.
At the same time, the federal government is exploring national security concerns in foreign-made inverters and solar/wind supply chain equipment. Forcing foreign solar companies to buy their materials in the U.S. is going to cause more solar contract cancelations.
If you are not prepared to bring forth/fund massive litigation against multi-national corporations when they do not follow through on their fraudulent contracts, the money promised in these solar and wind deals is not the golden ticket they say it is.
Not even the $500 million dollars promised to Flat Creek Solar by @NYSERDA could stop what just happened in Canajoharie, New York.

For decades, the federal government has claimed authority over water on private land, even a ditch that only floods after rain. That comes from the Clean Water Act’s “waters of the United States” definition, and it’s been a legal mess for years.
On September 9, the EPA and Army Corps proposed a new rule that would narrow that definition. Instead of a vague “wet season” standard, federal authority would generally be limited to perennial waters, ones that flow year round, plus wetlands directly connected to them. If your creek only runs after a storm, it likely wouldn’t count as federal water anymore.
Farmers, ranchers, and homebuilders are welcoming the move, saying it means fewer permitting delays and less uncertainty before breaking ground. States can still regulate these waters even if the feds step back.
The public comment period runs through October 9. Nothing is final yet, but it’s a real step toward settling where your property ends and federal control begins.

A Washington ranching family performed routine maintenance on stockwater ponds they’ve used for decades. The state responded with a $267,540 penalty and remediation costs that could exceed $3.7 MILLION.
Now Wade and Teresa King are fighting for the right to have a jury hear their case before the government can impose those massive penalties. Instead, they’re being forced through an administrative tribunal with NO jury.
When millions of dollars and a family’s livelihood are on the line, due process shouldn’t be optional.

For years, powerful environmental groups have sued the federal government - and taxpayers can end up paying their legal fees.
Now Congress is investigating 19 environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club, Earthjustice and the Center for Biological Diversity, over whether federal fee-shifting laws have helped create taxpayer-funded litigation operations.
These laws were meant to give ordinary citizens access to justice, not provide well-funded organizations with a business model for endless litigation.
Now lawmakers want to know exactly how the money, lawsuits and organizations are connected.

President Trump has ordered the Interior Department to determine within 90 days whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves meet the criteria for delisting or downlisting under the Endangered Species Act.
For gray wolves, this debate is nothing new. Federal officials have pursued delisting across multiple administrations, and FWS concluded in 2020 that the gray wolf populations it reviewed had recovered and no longer met the ESA standard for protection.
American Stewards has already petitioned DOI to revisit the lower-48 gray wolf listings.
Recovery is supposed to lead somewhere. Federal protection should follow the law and science, not become indefinite control over land belonging to America’s ranchers and rural communities.
